Commercial Description:
St. Bridget, a legendary Irish saint, created a sensation by turning her bathwater into beer. What better way to celebrate her worthy miracle than with our zymurgistic tribute to her feat, St. Bridget's Porter. St. Bridget's is a smooth, elegant, and chocolaty brown porter. Brimming with coffee and chocolate characteristics from dark barley malts, St. Bridget's is carefully hopped to provide the perfect complement to its malty robustness.

Bottle@Home. Nice sweet chocolate malts with hints of licorice and blackberries. Very dark ruby, light brown head, good lace. Lots of chocolate malts, light fruity, soft bitterness. Dusty mouthfeel. Nice highly drinkable porter.

Robust Porter is a perfect tag line for this beer. This beer screams I’m a porter plus 2. The bottle poured a nice thick head that hung around for a bit. The nose was a nice strong coffee but not good coffee. The malts are well roasted and once again give the impression of coffee but this time a better brand of coffee. The mouth feel was nice not very carbonated and not too syrupy. Great Divide you rock!

12 oz. bottle courtesy of ’Naka. Pours dark back with red hues. Brown head, half a finger and foamy, disappears rather quickly. Coffee and plum/raisin nose. Carmel malt start, with a subtle touch of chocolate and a coffee finish. Well hopped. Just enough bitterness. Pretty good porter.

12 oz bottle. Poured a dark, rich black with a larger head than I expected. Once it settled it still had a highly carbonated, slightly unpleasant mouth feel to it. Aroma was sour and musky. However the taste was a thick, rich, deliciously robust chocolate. Slightly malty aftertaste, not bad. It could have been a bad bottle, and I’d definitely be willing to give it another shot.

Pours a near jet black with minimal off-white head. Nose is very roasted, some coffee, chocolate, faint dark fruits that expand upon the palate. A little thin, but well hopped for the style, unspectacular finish. Not an amazing porter.

Bottle: Pours a dark brown to black with a light tan head. Aroma, roasted malts, coffee, and some sweet chocolaty notes. Flavor, smooth and roasty, some fruits, chocolate, decent porter.

Not robust at all. This beer was pretty awful. It had absolutely no substance at all. It was very watery and I coldn’t pin down any flavours at all. It just tasted burnt, but burnt as in old burnt coffee, not good strong coffee and dark chocolate.

A dark beer with a reddish hue and a small, tan head. Aroma of lightly burned malt and aroma hops. Full, cream-like body with lots of hard roasted malt. Quite nutty throughout. Lightly soapy edge before a drier end.
